In another thread I mentioned how I drove a 2010 135i this week and was impressed with it's power. What I was less than impressed with was a door trim piece up near the driver side A pillar that was falling off. The dealer had just gotten this particular car in and mentioned that he would be fixing that issue but it still surprised me to see this fairly new BMW with an interior piece just falling off like that.

Hopefully it was just an aberration and you guys haven't experienced anything like that but as someone who would like to own a 1 series one day I am curious.

Well, on my 2012 I get the popping on hot days from the trim over the glovebox, and the creaks that develop from the armrest assembly after a few months. But those are pretty minor and I still love the car

lots of creaks-the armrest, a pillars, and glove box. But the actual interior pieces have held up great, bothing broken, faded, loose, etc. drivers side bolster has a bit of wear but i can live with it. the interior is probably the last thing i worry about with this car.

09 135 Vert, never a problem with the interior with the exception of the pass side air bag indentation. No rattles or squeeks. The Pass armrest squeeked a few time after a year, but a shot of silicone spray and it has been gone since them.

My 09 is holding up very well, The manual gear knob has some wear on the upper edge of the leather and the steering wheel button surround where my left thumb usually rests while I am holding the wheel is showing some paint wear. Both of those issues I plan to address before the warranty expires in December. Other than that, no issues.

My 08 is still in perfect condition and only a few squeaks which there are fixes posted out there that basically just involves taking out the A pillars and dash trim pieces to either lube or place some felt between.

I had my A-pillar trim piece off putting a remote microphone for the bluetooth for my Garmin and it went back on fine. That was a couple years ago and it hasn't moved.

My interior is vinyl and shows essentially no wear. I'm at about 23K miles in my 2009.

I get a few creaks and other noises and you can see an indentation in the dash where the airbag is on the passengers side. The trim piece around the seat release for the drivers door likes to come loose in mine but I used to put my hand there getting in and out and I think I've loosened it up. I have no real complaints, I think the interior is holding up well.

My passenger side A pillar rattles against the dash board and my driver seat bolsters dont stay inflated for more than 5 minutes. There is also plastic bump in the middle of the dash that looks like it is dried out and peeling. Anyone know what that thing is looks like a sensor cover or something? I want to try getting it fixed during my annual service in December.

I only have one more BMW (5 GT) and its only about 6 mos old so I am not sure how long the leather will hold up. Although the stitching around the corner of the seats are somewhat questionable, the lines are not precise and wobble all over the place. One more question on the sport seats. When I sat in one, the thigh booster was a little tight, its almost hugging too close for comfort, is this adjustable? Thanks!
